This Plan of Conservation and Development is rooted in Granby’s Fundamental Values, those aspects of the Town that are treasured by the community. It is the overall objective of this Plan to protect and build upon these values.

The Town’s recognition that change and growth are inevitable and even necessary, together with concern for how this will impact the existing quality of Granby, are the basis for this Plan. Recognizing that growth and change can be either positive or negative, it is imperative that the town residents and governmental officials plan and promote the positive changes. Granby faces the challenge of maintaining its rural character, charm, tradition, and values, while providing cultural, recreational, housing, educational, commercial and employment opportunities.
